Ian Smith: On and Off the Road

 

Cairns-born Ian Smith is one of Queenslands most senior artists and this exhibition features works made since 2001 that deal with his interest in depicting the experiences, stories and views of road travel - in particular the many trips that he has undertaken within Queensland driving between Cairns and Brisbane and beyond. His works reflect the rhythm of the long distances travelled and the eye of an artist who is very much at home on the road. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue and a film directed by Alex Chomicz. This project has received financial assistance from the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
